====================================================================
- Use boost::optional for optional IFC arguments
- Use boost::uuid for the creation of GlobalIds
- New IfcGeomObjects setting to force alignment of TopoDS_Face normal to CCW orientation
- Removed static Ifc class, renamed to non-static IfcFile. IfcFile renamed to IfcSpfStream
- Introduced Logger class
- Introduced EntityBuffer class that keeps track of all writable entities created to add them all in once to the IfcFile class
Fix a bug in the formatting of IFC simple types
Provide a way of iterating over all entities in the IFC file
Added IFC test file by Ryan Schultz
Added another IFC test file from AutoCAD Architecture 2010
- Allow accessing entities by GlobalId
- Some more support for writing back IFC
- Prefix EXPRESS Enum values to avoid collisions
- Fix a bug in the SenseAgreement of Cartesian trimmed curves
- Use straight line segment in case point projection failed on trimmed curve
- Add epsilon to polylines and -loops point equality test
- Decompose a convex polygonal bounded halfspace into several unbounded halfspace and process only if they operate on a volume larger than some epsilon
- No longer fail connected facesets if a single face is invalid
- Updated IfcBlender for compatibility with Blender 2.62
- Added additional test files
- Automatic tests for several well known IFC files on the Internet
- IfcBlender: Make visibility in render consistent with 3d view
- Some compatibility for Ifc2x files with IfcShapeRepresentations and RepresentationIdentifier 'IAI'
A real solution could be to compile IfcGeom into a dynamic library and compile multiple versions of _IfcImport.so for different configurations which are selected based on sys.maxunicode
Another alternative would be not to rely on strings when exchanging textual data but vectors of int that contain the string character codes
- Store shapes in std::vectors rather than TopoDS_Compounds
- Apply transformation only on triangulated meshes or when processing openings
- Store transformations in a gp_GTrsf to allow arbitrary transformations
- Support IfcCartesianTransformationOperator3DnonUniform
- TODO: Create proper class for ShapeList
- TODO: Carefully check for null pointers returned from IfcGeom::convert_shape()
- Disallow open curves for IfcPolygonalBoundedHalfSpace [fixes#3405490 Incorrectly rendered wall in FZK-Haus-EliteCAD.ifc]
- Disable tolerance on IfcCompositeCurve
- Try to convert IfcConnectedFaceSets to TopoDS_Solids regardless of whether they are open or closed shells, improves openings in IFC files exported by Revit
- Provide debugging information based on shape volume on IfcBooleanClippingResult and IfcOpeningElement
- Separate IFC parsing library and geometry libraries [#3395025]
- Added example for IfcParse usage without geometry or Open CASCADE functionality
- Cleanup of vcproj Open CASCADE dependencies
- Added function to query parent class type in IfcExpressParser.py
